Change your destiny from becoming a villain

poverty.

That is a question that is never outdated in any era, just like flowers need soil and sunlight, just like fish need water and food.

It clings to human beings, or in other words, among all life groups, hiding in the deepest dark corners.

For many people, including Takashi Jing, poverty is simply the notion that they can't live like aristocrats, and that they can enjoy themselves without hard work.

They think that is the bottom line of poverty, that there is no worse situation than this.However, the cruel reality told Jing Long that the real bottom line of poverty is...there is no bottom line.

Survival is a struggle, and there is nothing more brutal than that.

The true meaning of what Gui Wu Tsuji said... He finally understood.

……

The smell in the air is even more outrageous than the most disgusting smell that Jing Long has ever smelled. If Jing Long can describe the scene in front of Jing Long with his shallow vocabulary...it is worse than hell hell.

There are many children and old people wearing tattered and moldy clothes. They stare at Wu Mi and Jing Long who come in from the alley with a pair of numb and cold eyes, and they are not interested in Jing Long's shocking and surprised eyes.

They are the lowest level of existence in this place.

There is no food, no physical strength, no value, and even the desire to live is gradually approaching nothing, and some even have rotten wounds all over their bodies.But in this situation, no matter how skilled the doctor is, they can't treat them. Being able to see Wu Mi and Jing Long with their own eyes is their last strength.

In just a few breaths, they just died with their eyes open.

"Your feet are shaking, Doctor Jing Long." Wu Mi turned to look at Jing Long and said, "What's wrong? Haven't you seen this place?"

"Never." Jing Long took a deep breath, and then he retched disgustingly because of inhaling the rotten air. "Where is this place?"

"Slum area. As the name suggests, it is the place where the poor live." Wu Mi turned a blind eye to the scene in front of him, and the rotten smell in the air had no effect on him.

What made Jing Long even more amazed was that Wuyou, as a nobleman, didn't show the slightest disgusted expression when he walked in this rotten and dirty alley. He walked as calmly as he was walking on an ordinary street.I don't even mind that my expensive kimono is stained and smelly by the splash of sewage and filth here.

"The people living here are all poor people, in the true sense of poverty." He said slowly in a peaceful tone: "Abandoned babies abandoned by their parents, children, old people who are regarded as burdens by their children, wives who are seriously ill Or a husband, a disabled person who lost a limb, a gambler who was cheated out of his fortune, etc.”

"In order to survive, they will go out and steal when they are physically strong. In order to get more food, they will mercilessly kill those who have helped them. They will even kill each other because of the distribution of benefits."

"They have no future, no past, or even the idea of ​​being grateful."

"It's all about living, it's as simple as that."

"You...you mean..." Jing Long said tentatively: "The people here are very pitiful?"

"Wrong, I didn't mean to sympathize with them." He glanced at Jing Long lightly: "I'm just explaining the situation here to you."

"Listen well, Jing Long." Wu Mi's face became very serious at this moment, "Since you want revenge, don't have any sympathy for them."

"The people here..." He said in a tone full of deep meaning: "They have been like me for a long time."

The implication is... there is no help.

"Wang!"

At this moment, Jing Long's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden dog bark. The hound named Xiao Hei that Wu Mi released before was parked at the intersection of a certain alley in the slum area.

When Jing Long looked at it, Xiao Hei deliberately raised one of his feet and poked it forward, which was very obvious.

"It seems that we have found a place." Wu Can saw that Jing Long's expression became extremely ferocious at this time, and a strong murderous aura emanated from him.

"I'll say it again." He repeated the previous words in a low voice: "Since you want revenge, don't have any sympathy for them."

"I know." Jing grandly stepped forward, the incomparably strong anger almost drowning his heart, at this moment he has already embraced the consciousness of crushing the enemy into powder!

...It was originally like this.

"Come on, Xiao Zhi...it's time to eat."

Walking to the entrance of the alley, what came into view was a skinny man with disheveled hair and a sour smell all over his body. His face was covered with a lot of dirt and it was impossible to see clearly.But there was a warm smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What?" The murderous intent and anger in his heart suddenly stagnated when he saw the scene in front of him, Jing Long opened his eyes wide and muttered to himself, "This is... what?"

The man who should be the murderer was kneeling and sitting in the corner of the alley, holding a piece of rotten meat and stuffing it into the mouth of a corpse that had turned into a skeleton.

As if trying to coax a child to eat, the man kept putting rotten pieces of meat into the bones, and then said with a happy smile, 'You are so greedy, Xiao Zhi', 'It's amazing, Xiao Zhi', "I'm full today, Xiaozhi" This kind of words made Takashi's hair stand on end.

"What are you doing..." For no reason, there was a fire of anger in his heart that was more violent than seeing his parents die before.

"What the hell are you doing!!" Jing Long rushed forward, grabbed the man's clothes and threw him against the wall beside him, yelling at the man, "You killed my parents! "

"Why do you still have such an expression? Why do you still look like I am happy?"

"Xiaozhi...my Xiaozhi..." Facing Jing Long's attack and shouting, the man didn't react at all. After being thrown out by Jing Long, he struggled desperately to climb to the side of the skeleton and hug it In the arms.Then gently, as if comforting a baby to sleep, he patted the skeleton's back and said: "It's okay, Xiaozhi is okay."

"Father will protect you, and father will definitely protect Xiaozhi."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

"Shut up!!" What the man did further aroused Jing Long's emotions, he rushed forward almost madly and grabbed the skinny man from the ground.Then he pressed his head against the skeleton's head and said, "Show me clearly! Take a good look at it, you bastard!"

"Don't pretend to be crazy and call your child's name to a skeleton like a lunatic! He's dead, he's dead!"

"Please don't do this!!" The skinny man finally reacted to Jing Long's attack this time, he hugged the skeleton in his arms even tighter, and two dark tears fell on his face, "It doesn't matter what I do..."

"My child...please don't hurt my child." He struggled to turn his head, and with those cloudy and empty eyes deeply shocked Jing Long's heart, "My Xiaozhi...is only three years old...he is very young... Cute, very gentle..."

"He doesn't know anything yet...so please...please..."

"Only children... Please don't hurt my children."

"You bastard!!"

"Stop it, Dr. Jing Long." Wu Mi, who had been silently watching, suddenly said at this moment, "It's really ugly."

"Ha! What's the matter? Didn't you just say that you don't want me to have sympathy for them?" Jing Long turned his head and said to Wu Mi with a sneer, "Why are you talking for them now?"

"I mean you are too ugly!" Plum red eyes quietly stared at Jing Long's face, the black hound beside Wu Mi suddenly swelled and twisted, and in the blink of an eye, it became a long and narrow sword, which was held by Wu Mi "You've been doing something inexplicable since just now."

"If you really want revenge, why do you have to carry out such a painless attack? Just chop him up and the bones, wouldn't it be over?"

He walked up to Jing Long and gently lifted his chin with his fingers.

"Look at your face clearly, Dr. Jinglong."

Through Wu Mi's beautiful eyes, Jing Long finally saw his appearance at this time.

The red eyes, the ferocious expression, the tears kept falling from the corners of the eyes like a broken dam, it is not so much the face of an avenger as it is... the desperate face of a kind man.

"I've said it before, don't have any sympathy for them." Wu said blandly: "He is the real murderer who killed your parents, and he is the object of your revenge."

"And according to your description, the pieces of meat in this man's hands are likely to belong to your parents. Can you remain indifferent to this?"

"I know." He lowered his head, and his body fell limply to the ground like a punctured balloon. "Of course I know."

"But... but... I can't do anything..." He covered his face, and finally cried out unbearably, "I can't do anything to him!!"

【No more. 】

He sighed and turned his head away.

Even if he encountered such a thing, he eventually lost to his own sympathy.

If it is Wu Mi, no matter whether the man in front of him is pitiful or not or whether he has lost his mind, he will die.

But Jing Long can't, he is too gentle.

After seeing that the murderer was actually a lunatic and the motive of killing, he developed excessive sympathy, and finally couldn't do it.

Whether this is a doctor's benevolence or a real fool may not be able to be discussed even after thousands of years of discussion.

"Father...Mother..." Jing Long knelt on the ground and kept crying, "Please forgive me for being a worthless and unfilial son...I can't...I really can't..."

"Take action against such a person..."

"Are you crying?"

The unfamiliar voice made Jing Long raise his head, but it was the skinny man holding the skeleton before him lying on his face.

"My Xiao Zhi also likes to cry, so many children of the same age laugh at him as a crybaby." A faint smile appeared on his dirty face, and he put the skeleton in his arms into Jing Long's. "He kept telling me...if anyone cries like him, take him to comfort that person."

"It's very gentle, my child."

"Yes." Jing Long lowered his head, looked at the young skeleton and said, "It's a very gentle child."

"Then can I ask you to play with him?" The man's voice became very low. "That child is very lonely, every day by my side saying that there is no one to play with him."

"Although I really want to continue to be with him...but I always feel that I can't go to the same place as him."

"So..." He smiled very gently, "Can I ask you to play with him?"

"Yes." Jing Long nodded without hesitation, he seemed to have noticed something, "I will accompany him."

"Thank you, it's really helpful." The man was obviously relieved, "Then there is one more thing I have to tell you..."

"sorry."

"Eh?" Jing Long was stunned for a moment, "Why?"

"I don't know, I always feel that I have to tell someone this sentence." His voice became lower and lower, until finally he could barely hear: "Because if I don't say it, I feel that I will be hated by Xiaozhi."

"So I must say..."

"sorry."

The moment he finished speaking, the skinny man's body fell limply on the ground beside him, motionless, and his eyes lost their luster.

he died.

Such a sudden but unforgettable...death.

"Sly...too cunning..." Tightly hugging the young skeleton on the ground into his arms, Jing Long's tears welled up again, "Your father is really cunning...Xiao Zhi."

"It seems that even if we don't come today, he will die." Standing behind Jing Long, Wu Mi threw the sword in his hand directly, without any intention of taking it back, "Doctor Jing Long, what are your plans next?" Woolen cloth."

"Master Wu Mi." Jing Long got up slowly holding the skeleton and said, "I want to ask you something."

"what?"

"Is it really possible to do something like an infinite lifespan?"

"Oh?" There was a look of surprise on Wu Mi's face, "Why did you ask such a thing all of a sudden?"

"I have something... that I want to accomplish." He calmly faced Wu Mi's eyes, and no longer had the same fear and resistance towards him as before. Human life is not enough."

"I see, that's really interesting." The corners of Wu Mi's mouth slowly turned up, showing a touching smile, "Please be sure to come to my home to discuss with me later."

"As for the thing you just said...of course there is." What he said made Jing Long's face brighten. "But please don't forget that this is not a very beautiful thing."

Wu Mi said warningly: "The first step to have an infinite lifespan is to accept my blood and become a monster like me...that is, a 'ghost'."

"This process should be very painful. If you can't support it, you will die."

"Secondly, after becoming a ghost, you, like me, can only eat people to fill your stomach."

"Cannibalism? I haven't heard of it!" Jing Long's expression suddenly became ugly. "Does it have to be cannibalism?"

"Don't worry." Wu Mi looked at him and said, "It's fine to eat dead people."

"Dead...dead?"

"Of course, do you think I will risk being discovered to eat living people every day?" He smiled. "That doesn't fit my habit of pursuing a peaceful life."

"Finally, there is one more thing, and that is the purpose of life."

"Target?" Jing Long frowned, "Does this have anything to do with the target?"

"After becoming a ghost, you will live much longer than humans. What you see and experience will be much longer than humans. If you don't set a long-term and meaningful goal, you will easily lose yourself."

"Of course, it's easy to get lost if you have a goal."

"In that case, please don't worry." Jing Long said to Wu Mi seriously: "If I really lose myself, Lord Wu Mi."

"Please kill me immediately!"

"Heh." The corners of Wu Mi's mouth could not help but turn up for a few minutes [Dr. Jing Long, you are really... so gentle. 】
